I looked for air and booster shocks for my wagon and could not find any. I did come across a company that would make custome shocks , but cant recall the company name.I ended up putting in new gas shocks and put clamp on overload springs on the new shocks.Alittle stiff unloaded , but brought the back end up and I can carry a lot more.

For about $125 you can install a pair of airbags either above the axle or on top of the leaf springs. This is of course provided you have a welder & minimal fab skills since this all has to be made from scratch.

Not hard to figure out. Just measure the stroke you want the shocks (or originals)to travel, and get those.
